A senior Pakistani police officer was sacked after he refused to tender an apology to former husband of Prime Minister Imran Khan's third wife Bushra Bibi for stopping him at a picket.


The Punjab government today removed District Police Officer (Pakpattan) Rizwan Omar Gondal from his post and ordered him to report to the central police office Lahore following his refusal to tender an apology to Khawar Manika, ex-husband of Bushra Bibi.


A senior police officer told PTI that Khawar Manika was coming from Lahore to Pakpattan (some 175-km from Lahore) when he was stopped at a picket at 1 am on August 23. "Manika didn't stop his car when police signalled him at the picket. Police chased his car and intercepted it a few kms away.


Khawar Manika hurled abuses at police officials for not letting him go despite his introduction. Opposition PML-N has criticised Imran Khan for intervening in the matter of his wife's ex-husband. -- PTI
